So far details about the story-line are scarce, but we have been treated to some bizarre info about the horse's balls, which is something.

Yup, a new report claims that the game's graphics will be so spot-on the horse's testicles will shrink in cold weather. I don't know if we need that level of realism in our games, but you have to admit that it's pretty bloody impressive.

I'm torn on this one. Not because I don't think it will be awesome, it almost certainly will be, but I just can't decide if I want to sink as many hours into it as will be necessary to finish this game. I do like to try to finish the story when I play games like this, and i loved the first RDR. I'll probably break down and get it at some point, but might wait until the holidays and hope for a sale.

I feel like timed exclusive stuff, in addition to preorder bonuses, are largely disposable and not worth the time it takes to redeem the code. Seems like it's good early game stuff, but gets replaced by better gear fairly quickly.

i'll take my war horse, like in the first. he was good and fast and reliably strong. loved having the perk and will stick with it in this game. The Arabian horse sounds nice and maybe more reliability than War Horse, but i don't care. i feel a good horse is very important in this game, especially right from start...

I haven't been keeping up with news other than the gameplay trailers. Do we know why this isn't getting a PC release at launch?

Probably following GTA V's path to success: sell a whole bunch on current-gen consoles, convince people who already bought it on console to re-buy it on PC with a later release, and then convince them to buy it a third time on next-gen consoles. Or maybe I'm just being cynical.
